Final Paper tbd
I understand the ATP is a paper driven by my own unique thoughts and ideas. I will not consult outside reviews, critiques, study
guides, or commentary. I understand that at any time I feel overwhelmed or confused I should go to Ms. Skwar for guidance. I
have read the assignment sheet and have made note of all the respected due dates on my calendar or in my assignment
notebook. I have also bought a folder or created a separate section in my binder for my ATP papers.
